As I sit here and ponder my beer bottle, I wonder what everyones favorite beer is (that is if you do drink beer)

Definitely a tie between Guiness and Yuengling

Definetly a tie between Guiness and Yuengling[/quote:7d40770061]

I drink way too much bud light and amstel light (depending on the establishment) due to caloric intake concerns.

When I'm in the mood, I opt for most of Sam Smith's line (Nut Brown Ale is my favorite, of course) or Newcastle. In Pittsburgh, it's Yuengling or Rolling Rock, depending. On St. Pat's day, it's Guiness, of course.

Jury's still out on the newly imported Smithwick's: not sure it's the same brew as what I had in the old country.

Oh, and Singha with thai food, of course.

I'm a beer snob. But here in the land of the microbrew...it's hard not to be.
This evening it was a local Porter (Perseus Porter from Elysian brewery.

Generally, my three favs are:

Snoqualmie IPA
Perseus Porter
Stone ......IPA(can't remember the name right now, too much Perseus...)

jesse

8) COLD

MicroBrew up here in the NW, so many to try.

:shock: Slug

Has to be Black and Tan a nice combo of Guiness and Bass I pics of a perfect pour if I can find them I'll post them..mmmmmm black and tan :twisted: :twisted:

Guiness and Bass are in my favorites, but separate.
Hefeweitzen and Sam Adams Summer ale have been preferred lately.

I SOOO miss Yuengling Lager -- it was my first beer. Since moving to Georgia I simply cannot find it. Now I drink Pilsner Urquell from the Czech Republic -- not expensive and very good taste. Honestly though, I probably drink more wine now (gotta think of the heart).

I cannot beleive you said Yuengling! I love that beer but cannot find it in ohio. so, everytime we go east to visit my gf's parents, we but about six cases. At least now I'll have plenty of room to transport it :D .

Not a big fan of Corona ever since i made the drunk mistake of mixing Corona and Bacardi Limon. PSA: Never mix the 2. Wow, I don't think I was ever sicker after drinking.

Ha...I would have to say my favorite beer is FREE!

I've probably tried over 300 beers so far, and haven't found a steady favorite. It all depends on the mood, the day, the food, etc.

All the choices above are good candidates though.

All beer's good, some beer's better.

Duff is much better than Fudd

I guess it depends on the restaurant. Here in town my wife and I have about 4 favorite restaurants. We live in a SMALL town of 80,000 including the students. At The Globe I always drink black and tans. At Depalmas its rolling rock. Jalapenos its Negro Modelo and at Mellow Mushroom I drink Boddington. When I am at home I drink either Corona, South Paw (trust me its a really good cheap beer) or whatever the friends have left in the fridge.

Not my favorite but pretty good. It just has the best name and ad line I have ever heard.

http://www.wasatchbeers.com/images/labels/poly.gif

Foster's. It's Australian for beer, mate. Spent 2 weeks in Sydney and never drew a sober breath. What a wonderful town!

Okay, where can I find Polygamy Porter? That's something I'll have to add to my collection. What collection, I down them as soon as I get 'em.

I'd rather be a good liver than have one.

>Okay, where can I find Polygamy Porter?

Wasatch Beers is a Park City (Utah) microbrewery. I can't even begin to imagine the challenge being a producer of alcoholic beverages in Utah.

:shock:

My current favorite is Moosehead - I tend to like crisp and slightly sweet. For a mass-produced brew it's not bad.

I used to favor Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve (Blatz, Portland, OR), but when they were taken over in the big brewery buy-up of the '90's, they seemed to lose their edge once they became merely another "formula" brewed by a conglomerate. It's also impossible to get in St. Louis, and I'll give you three guesses why... and the first two don't count.

:P

I used to favor Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve (Blatz, Portland, OR)...
I really enjoyed Henry Weinhard while I lived in Oregon during the late 1970's. It was a definite upgrade from the omnipresent Olympia.

Currently I have found taste enjoyment in 3 distinct beverages:

Bell's Amber ale, a Kalamazoo, Michigan based brewery with a distinctive line-up. Nice nutty taste.
Shipyard Ale, brewed in Portland, Maine and also at their brewery in Florida. Very crisp and smooth.
And, I have recently become a closet drinker of Labatts. I have no idea why...but I enjoy their beer.

Polygamy Portor is 3.2%, so its not really an alcoholic beverage. Utah is the only place where you can drink beer to hydrate before a bike ride.

bone

ha...I've herard of Polygamy Porter, i think they mentioned it in Maxim or something.

The "mormon town" we have here sells NA stuff only (which actually has alcohol in it), and there is a store that sells videos with all the good stuff edited out or dubbed over.

Just drank more of the Keoki "sunset gold" that we get here. Its excellent stuff. Try it if you get a chance.

As for Fosters, you have to go to oz to drink the real stuff (and Fosters Ice-that is good stuff). The stuff we get here comes from the Canada brewery. But if you're down there, you might as well drink some XXXX or VB. Aahhhh, Australia, the place to drink beer-they have drive-thru liquor stores, so you know they're serious about their beer.

...I'd have to say cave-aged Hennepin from Brewery Ommegang.

The one in my hand...

sippin on a corona right now, thats the usual for a couple every night. But being a bostonian and all I usually stick to the trusty Sam Adams, and lately have gotteen hooked on Sam Adams White as well as Blue Moon.

I was once told by a friend: "Fixxy, there are two types of beer....free and cold."

Being recently removed from college life (I received my Master's in Informatics less than a year ago), I'll usually drink just about any beer...except for Stroh's. And yes, I'm getting bitter beer face just thinking about its terrible taste.

Being from Buffalo, I normally drink Labatt's, courtesy of our wonderful neighbor to the north.

Being Irish, I can drink approximately 45 Guinnesses in one sitting.

So with that, I say "Any port in a storm.", but would prefer some Blue or Guinness. :D

P.s. I'm not kidding... they have one.

That is too frickin cool...

Hmmmm.
Gotta love the PNW! 8) I love Moose Drool, Fat Tire, Alaskan Amber and Butt Face Ale!
But for daily drinking I go for Corona, Heineken and Rolling Rock!!! In that order!

NOW I NEED TO GET A TRAILER HITCH SO I CAN GET THIS COVER!!!

http://www.etrailer.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/alf/10171.jpg

Nice catch Fixxy! :P

but my fav bottled beverage is Spire Mountain Hard Cider. Pear is best, but the are a few apple varieties that are also great! :D

I feel lucky. I am located in Pine Grove, PA which is about 15 miles away from the Yuengling brewery. I am virtually guaranteed a constant supply of Yuengling for life. We refer to it here as Schuylkill County Spring Water.

Amen brother, I'm in Hellertown, Pa. I love the traditional Yuengling and even go for the mixed case once in a while.

And after all that beer. you'll need one of these: http://www.bumperdumper.com/
Most excellent if you have the tailgate cabana.

Never heard of Yuengling here in Illinois, but I'll ask at my Friar Tuck's next time.

As for me, I prefer Bass Ale, Amstel Light or just plain old Bud Light. I do on occasion however pick up a pack of Sam Adams or Budweiser. I like variety. ;)

Yuengling is definitely a good choice in beer. Introduced to it while in Maryland
by friends and took quite a liking to it. For my money nothing beats a pint
of Guinness(except two pints!). I love full flavored beers, I can't abide wimpy,
watery American stuff (Bud, Coors, Miller, etc., etc.).
For those of you with a Food Lion near you, check out Blue Moon. It's a
domestic brewed Belgian style wheat beer. I tried a pack last week and liked
it a lot, good flavor and no bitterness; went down well with pizza and steaks as well.
Here's my list in order of preference:

Guinness (Brilliant!)
Black & Tan (Guiness & Bass)
Bass
Harp Lager
Yeungling
Blue Moon
Killian's Irish Red
My own urine
Michelob
Budweiser
Coors
Miller

I guess we Central PA people are spoiled. I never realized how hard it is to get Yuengling outside of PA and MD.

I also like to brew my own beer every chance I get!!!
Now, that's my favorite!!! 8)

Something magical happens when you open up a Dead Guy Ale after a day of kayaking. I don't yet have a hitch, so I can't install that way cool opener pictured above. In fact, that hitch cover may scream "beer inside"; not something you want to advertise when leaving your E all day at the trailhead, river bank, or ski area parking lot.

Well, as I see it there are two kinds of beer

1. Free beer

and

2. Cold beer

usuall every type of beer falls into those two catagories. You won't buy warm beer, but you will drink it if its free.

Rolling Rock and Green Light (light-rolling rock) one time I ordered it (Bay Area-Calif) and it was on the micro-brew menu huh? They charged like a dollar more......Corona and Heinken have that Pee-Pee smell

I'd have to agree with Dan almost all beer is good. Some are just alot better. guiness!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v445/cheesus88/cowbell.gif

Wow, I guess I'm just really frugal!

My favorite Beers are Coors Light (bottles) and occasionally Keystone Light. As long as it is ice cold, that is. I put mine into the freezer for 1/2 hour (and hope I don't forget about it!!) and that always does the trick!

Nice graphics too.......

(If you're sensing a trend here, yes, most of them are Belgian inspired).

Yuengling is nowhere near what it used to be. I had some a long time ago, and it was pretty tasty stuff. Had one recently (since it's become more widely available) and it was pretty dull.

(And for inquiring minds that just have to know, that's an Abbey Val Dieu I'm holding in my avatar - a REAL Belgian)

Corona Light is my favorite right now!

It's 100º and humid in La Crosse today. Even with the A/C cranked at home, at work and in the car, it's too frickin' hot. There is only one thing that makes it all better:

BEER

I have a wonderful selection of beers in my 'fridge right now and I popped open a Red Stripe for starters. Next might be a Boddingtons and then a rare stout.

Let's all give three cheers for beer!

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/940070/alc.gif

Boo creepy foot doctor!

Hooooraaaay Beer!

I have a fridge full of Michelob Ultras and Newcastles at home that are calling my name.... and it's not even hot out!

Mmmm...Newcastle. We are so lucky to have such easy access to great beers right now. Say what you want to about Sierra Nevada, their Pale Ale is now so common, it's become the microbrew standard. To have a beer the caliber of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale plentiful, well, it makes a guy who in college regularly got drunk on Olympia all fuzzy inside.

I went straight to the stouts. Yeti Imperial Stout from Great Divide Brewing in Denver. This stuff is darker than motor oil and much tastier. Good stuff, Maynard!

I was just thinking about beer before I logged in here - ?!?!?! How DOES that work? mental telepathy? coincidence?

I can hear my smart alecky spouse already "yeah, yeah, big coincidence! Men think about beer almost as often as they think about sex, so the odds are if somebody discusses beer at some point during the day it will coincide with your thought processes!"

Anyway, yeah I could go for a cold one.

I'll probably have a Stella or an Okanagan 1516 when I get home.

Corona = the number one imported beer in the United States. I just learned that and it surprised me.

I've got to tell you a story. It's probably not PG rated, but for what passes for PG now-a-days, maybe it is.

Half a dozen years ago, I was seeing the Dead at Alpine Valley (my local venue) and wanted a beer. Miller has the franchise for the place. I could have walked up to any counter and bought a Miller without waiting. Miller now owns Leinenkugel, a small western Wisconsin brewery. There was a long line for a Leinies. I waited in line a few minutes, decided I like music more than beer, and got a Miller. By the time I was back at my seat, I was laughing. I told my friends I have Miller's new advertising slogan. It's a lock, the best one they could ever come up with:

Fụck it, I'll have a Miller.

That's it. Fụck it, I'll have a Miller. It's perfect for them. Blue collar. Edgy. Rock 'n' roll. The people's beer. Fụck it, I'll have a Miller. I swear, if they'd use it as their new slogan, they'd make millions.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was a thread about BEER. So far, no one's even mentioned any.....

Great story.:lol:

I had a similar story from the St. Louis Meet. On Saturday we went down town on the train at about 2:00 PM. The river boat thingy wasn't till 7 or 8 so we went into a bar just north of the train station, Show Me. (Nice joint Adam. Gotta bet you've wasted some of your mis-guided youth here:smile: )
So me and Mrs. IRV sit down at the bar and order hot dogs and I order an O'Douals. Sweet young thing shakes her head, says something I can't hear (did I mention that just about this time the Cards baseball crowd comes in?) so I say "Old Style". Another shake of the head so I says, "Bring me a beer". Still don't know what it was, but my standards ....well, a beer is a friggin beer when it's 95 degrees in St. Louis.

With this group, I'd watch out for your beer.

I went to the State College Brew Expo (http://www.scbrewexpo.com/) a couple of weeks ago. Heaven on Earth, I tell you...the food was very good, the beer was wonderful (mostly) and the crowd wasn't too large. Maybe a five minute wait in the worst line...a good time all around!

I'm not sure about everyone here, but in DC, we have several locations that boast one of the largest beer selections in the world. One is RFD Washington (REgions finest drinks) and the other is the Brickskellar. I think they have some odd 900 beers available from around the world at any given time.

My favorite happens to be Bluebird Bitter. Yup, tops them all. If you get the chance to drink one, don't question yourself, just order one:

I grew up a baptist in texas and alcohol was a no no. I didnt drink in HS or college (Baylor Bears) and wasnt really into that scene.

I moved to NC and started grad school in Religion at DUKE and the Methodists taught me to drink. My first beer was a 32oz corona while studying for a church history exam. It was excellent.

Quite quickly I came up with my beer rule:
If you can find it on the side of a NASCAR, its off limits. So far I have never broken the rule. Well, except when I have been in South Carolina, where its really hard to be nice to your host and keep the rule.

So far I have never been steered wrong and usually order the house's draft, trying for a brown ale.

Tonight, I will be drinking a couple bottles of Ithaca Beer Comany's Summer wheat beer we picked up while we were in Ithaca NY last weekend.

Other favs: yuengling, newcastle, shipyard export ale and the occasional shiner boch when texans are around. Shiner might break the rule now though.

Nothing like cold Bier and the sound of TOOL (the band).....:rolleyes:

I'd type a response, but I'm off to my local pub for a Guinness.

I'll be out and about tonight too, Queenie.. If I see an E like yours... I'll wave! :)

Today, I bought my next door neighbor a six of New Castle and a six of New Belgium Sunshine Wheat. It was a small payback for a day and a half of generator power during the outage....:cool:

Give New Belgium's other products a try too... Skinny Dip is a nice summer beer, and Tripple is my fav!

I love the 1554 and Fat Tire... Never had the Skinny Dip... What kind of bier is it? I will try.8)

I love the 1554 and Fat Tire...

I'd never even heard of Fat Tire 'til the Meet. We had a couple at the place next door to the hotel. Good beer.

Skinny Dip is a summer ale from New Belgium. Medium color, a little citrus - it's just delicious beer! Great with a burger.

Good stuff.... Every year there is a Fat Tire Fest here in STL; Forrest Park lately. They have all the New Belgium beers live music/etc....:cool: Great times!:D

Bet you wouldn't guess by my "photo" that I'm a beer drinker... ha ha

My new thing is pub cans; anytime I see something in a pub can I'm overcome with a compulsion to buy and try. My new favorite is Abbot Ale, by the Greene King Brewery (UK).

As it's summer, I'm also going through an enourmous amount of India Pale (again trying every new one I come across). I can't get enough of that refreshing hoppiness when it's hot out!

Once fall comes however, it'll be back to the english stouts, so dense and thick you could stand a spoon up in a glass. Mmmmmmm.....

You're my kind of beer guy, gladestrider. Different beers for different seasons. I like the hoppy beers we'll get shortly, the Octoberfest brews. Not all year but for a change.

New Glarus has special brews that appear from nowhere and are gone in a couple of months. They had a Belgium that was to die for a while ago. Next time I see it I'm buying a case or two.

As for trying out a new Inda Pale Ale during summer, I, too, am a sucker here. I wish I could find the Flying Dog Pale Ale in my area. I can buy it in Madison, and I do when I go there, but not here in La Crosse. :sad:

Isn't it great that the rest of the country has finally clued into the pleasure of a micro-brew? I know, micro-breweries have been becoming more and more common for around 10 years now, but I still remember when they were scarce. I also remember the day when you considered yourself lucky if you could find a 6 of Anchor Steam or Sierra Nevada, instead of settling for Mic Dark. Anchor and Sierra made some great beer, but they were among only a few that received (relatively) widespread distribution.

My favorite thing about the whole phenomenon, however, is looking up a new brew pub everytime I visit a new city. We're lucky to have a great one here in Flint, MI, called the Redwood Lodge. Ask Dom.five or his wife about thier brews :) I used to visit an Ex in Madison about 8-9 years ago, and would bring back a growler or two from the Great Dane. It's been a while since I've been there, and I'd imagine there are a few more brew pubs that have sprung up since then.

Going to need a cold Guinness tonite! I miss it... Been drinking Crown N Coke lately....8)

I've got a party keg of Paulaner Hefe-Weizen in the fridge. I think it'll get tapped today :wink: :wink:

Micro-brews new?

I don't know ... maybe the fact that I grew up in a college town increased my access. I have always drank microbrews. My dad and I actually had a running joke for years about Miller light - we had 2 cans left from a 12 pack that someone gave him and we'd try to give them to each other in weird, surprising ways. He duct-taped them to the front bumper of my old civic overnight; I got a rafting outfitter to fake a contest & then tell him he won & they gave him a box... suprise! Miller light!

Point is, we are both beer snobs. I'm cracking up - I used to drink Paulener Hefeweisen in college, Chimay Ales, Rouge Shakespeare Stouts, etc....

I have to say, though, that I am glad to find them in bars beyond college towns - especially since I no longer live at home.

Ah, beer.

Might need a Skinny Dip later on today.

I don't know ... maybe the fact that I grew up in a college town increased my access.

That's it exactly; college towns were the rare exception and could always be counted on to have one.

New good STOUT!!! BARE KNUCKLE!:cool: Bare Knuckle Stout

The stuff of life. What's your favorite brew?

My favorite is Boddington's. (not pictured) 28650

This is not a topic to get me started on, assuming I'm not already all the way there...:D

I don't even know whether they brew this anymore, but an English pub close to where I lived in Tampa carried Chester Beer, made in Chester, U.K. Good stuff. Second choice, Wasatch Pale Ale brewed at the Wasatch Brewery in Park City, Utah.

I can be a woman of mystery when I want to be, RD. And actually, I'm more of a Shiraz fan when it comes to red wine. Occasionally, I have a Grey Goose Cosmopolitan. :)

Pre Red Hook Brewery:

Anchor Steam

Now a days:
Skull Splitter when money is not the issue.
Flying Dog (various) for normal price well crafted beer.
I'm a purist, so I don't generally like the current fad for flavored beers. When the local brewery (Dominion) does a small run of a rich ale I'll always give it a try. Same with my former local brewery (Fishtail).

Cheers

I vote we plan a beer night. I volunteer Ann's place :D

I'm in. I'll go get a growler at the East End Brewery for everyone to try.:D

I'm in. :D

You know Ann, I could never get really into Yuengling. Maybe I didn't try the right brew?

Sat night a week from now?

2/10/07

I'll see if Wenchy is up for it. Attendees should provide there own sleeping bags. I can make breakfast :D

BTW you're talking to a person that has sampled BOTH 'Scotch Buy' and 'Beer' brand ales.

Oh and Ann, if this works out I'll bring that item I mentioned elsewhere for you to play with :evil:

I'm in. :D

You know Ann, I could never get really into Yuengling. Maybe I didn't try the right brew?


I'm not a Yuengling fan although it is popular around here. Sam Adams is another favorite of the Pittsburgh crowd, most of whom do, I think, know that is a product of Pittsburgh Brewing Co. There is a neighborhood hot dog and beer place called 'Dee's Dogz and Sudz' that has lots of import beers, growlers of East End Brewery beer and Chicago style hot dogs and veggie dogs done on the grill. It is a neighborhood favorite.

Sam is my current favorite generic beer.

LaBatt's is mine even though I know how many of you feel about beer from Canada.

Nope Iggy, I saw it and have to run it by the other half. :)

WHAT???? You want me to pick a favorite? Which is your favorite pet, your favorite child, your favorite lover?

My dirt cheap "house" label is Huber Bock. $6.99/12 from the Huber Brewery est. 1845 in Monroe WI, also makes the Berghoff brands.

There is always some Guinness in the beer fridge, also a Summit Seasonal or Pale Ale and some of Sam's Boston Lager or Seasonal. Other than that I grab a 6 or 12 of whatever tickles the fancy. I'm not picky as long as it's not from a can and isn't a "big" brand.

The brew pub on my way home from work makes an Oatmeal Stout that is one of my favorites.

My favorite beer Blue Moon and I will drink anything from the sweetwater brewery in Atlanta, GA. Also do any of the Coloradoans know of a good local wheat beer? There are a ton of local brews and I do not have the time nor the money to try them all.

Yum! Blue Moon! I love it best when it is draft. Yuuuuuuuuuuum. :)

And don't forget the orange slice! That is what makes Blue Moon complete.

Oh but of course! Always with the orange! Never without! :)

i became corrupted at age 16 when visiting family in england.
the pub in the village was a 'greene king' pub. the regular greene king (bitter) was so good! but even better was a strong ale called 'abbot ale' - yum!
i have also become very fond of the belgium beers. especially the stuff the monks make!

My favorite beer is FREE BEER !!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually I like to try whatever is the local beer where I happen to be.
Here in KC it is Boulavard.........most are good
Also have places that have a ton of different brews.........won't go thirsty

as far as generic beers go, i like pacifico and negro modelo, as well as fat tire and a couple of the sam adams varietys. for non generic, my dad makes his own beer thats incredible.

Man, Orangee, if you could send me some Boulevard Heifweinsen that would be great. Brings me back to the days in St. Louis. As for US beer, has anyone had Ommegang brand from Cooperstown NY? Great Belgian style ales. I had some Watasch stuff a couple of weeks ago in SLC, great brews. No real good micros down here, when in Philly Flying Fish out of Camden does some great stuff, otherswise Rogue brews are pretty readily available.

I usually tend toward the dark and stout end of the scale...

Speaking of which, one of my favorite beers is a Brazillian beer called Xingu. It's dark and complex, yet has a slightly refreshing nature.

Also, being a Michigan native, I have to support Bell's Brewery (formerly the Kalamazoo Brewing Company)!
http://www.bellsbeer.com/

colt 45, camo, just kidding tht stuff is nasssssssstaaaaaaaay
Great Brew here's a few Boulevard Weat, Pyramid Hefeweizen, and just about any beer that says hefewizen, Spaten Optimator if you like darker beer, Hoegaarden, If you are poor and want the best tasting cheap beer then go with los lake its cheaper than coke, any kind of cerveza,
anchor old foghorn is TEN PERCENT ALCHOHAL its pretty stout
Warstiener fullsail bass red sripe trying to think of more oh ya
sapporo ill think of more later

Lately I've been a on a Stella kick. I just love good beer in general. This best brew I've had was a Kona Longboard Lager that I tasted in Hawaii. Not only because it was a good beer, I was enjoying it in Hawaii.

Theres only a few beers i can really drink and enjoy,
#1 is http://www.nubo.ru/pavel_egorov/world/dgi0301.jpg

#2 is http://thesportinglife.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/colt45.jpg

#4 Not a beer but a cider, cant find any in the usa, but a guy i know from england used to smuggle it in, God this stuff is Awsome!, tastes like fresh tart apples, not rotten apples like most ciders here in the us.
http://www.bwmaonline.com/Scrumpy.IMG.JPG

And for making ****tails, this is one of the very few vodkas i really enjoy, this stuff is so smooth you can chug it staight, its like drinking a bottle of fine mineral water.
http://library.bevnetwork.com/bottles/260/7492.jpg


As far as beer though, i have yet to try anything that is even remotley close to guinness draught!

Favorite bottle brew...Pete's Wicked Octoberfest or Summer Brew
Favorite, favorite...Oberdorffer Weiss with a squeeze of lime

Homebrew made by my mad scientist husband...the only Stout's I like

FYI...Franklins Brewery (http://www.franklinsbrewery.com/) in Hyattsville, MD (just outside of DC) is having a fundraiser for the Prince George's SPCA/HS (animal rescue):

"Dine or shop at Franklins in Hyattsville on Tuesday, February 13, and Franklins will donate 20% of your purchase to us. Just give your receipt to the cashier or hostess.

I love how they draw the little clover in the foam.... attention to detail!!

Beers heavy in the wheat make my mouth and sinuses swell, I get itchy just watching others drink Blue Moon. For a time I was afraid I was allergic to beer. You cannot imagine the concern that this caused. Lot's of drinking, sneezing and wheezing led to the conclusion that I was just drinking the wrong beer.

I'm working on a Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout at the moment, it's a tough assignment but I'm definitely up to it.

Cheers.

There really should be a suds smiley.

mack and jack, african amber, really good at the bottom of a black&tan. the
only way I really like drinking guinness. I also like most hefes too.(burp)

Has anybody had Terrapin's Oatmeal Coffee Imperial Stout? It is made with wake-n-bake coffee which by the way is a great coffee. Other favorites are Sweetwater 420 pale ale, Ommegang Three Philosophers, Legunitas Censored, and the list goes on and on.

If I had to pick a favorite Irish Stout, it would be Beamish (from Cork), Guiness 2nd, and Murphys a distant 3rd

i love irish stout!
if you ever want to make a black and tan at home, use an ice cream scoop.
sam smith's oatmeal stout is the best. period.
i wish i could find beamish at the bars, but alas. guinness or murphys will do nicely. after a few, *shrug*
i also like guinness in the plain bottles. as in no floating widgets.
the original widget was the best. the draught bottles i avoid.
how about a shout out to 'old thumper' !!!

A good strong Stout to try is Dragon Stout - Brewed in Jamaica MAN!:cool:
Something different...

I'm having the seasonal Furr Rondy brew from Midnight sun brewing. only made certain times of the year in Anchorage. Yummy!!!:D

Help me with this. Back in November I was in Charlotte, NC for the Navy-Boston College game. My friends and I ate at this brewery place downtown but I cannot remember the name. They served a brew called (?) IPA. LORD that was tasty stuff!

Can't find Hamm's anymore.:twisted: :x

Old Milwaukee is good too. (I know I spelled "Milwaukee" right............... Copied it right off the can.:D )

Not since 03. Too bad, because it was a good cheap beer. My dad gave me twenty one cans of it for my twenty first birthday. We left in on the fridge for months until we got desperate (ie broke enough to drink anything). Surprisingly, it wasn't too bad.

Moylens Kilt Lifter has to be my number one choice:D

Is it just me or or is it hard to catch a nice buzz from a pint of guinness? Im not saying that is a bad thing, but can get expensive!, hah

Anybody like Sapporo?

Anybody like Sapporo?
Japan is nice!

Japan is nice!


Lol.:D But, what do you think about the beer?

Its been years since I had a cold Sapporo but I remember it being pretty decent.

It's nice. I try to enjoy a Sapporo when I visit our local crazy Japanese chef. They guy runs a "Hibachi" style place out of an old gas station. There is one grill/table. The owner is the chef, his wife takes the money and fetches the beer. I love him, but hillybilly Ohio doesn't seem like the most hospitible environment for him. It's hard to compete with Bob Evans . . .lol.

So, yeah. Sapporo is good stuff.

When I go to our local Japanese steakhouse and sushi bar I sometimes buy Sapporo. I like it, Ive also found a chinese beer I like called Tsing tao. I dont get there very often. I usually drink the "Amish lager" Yuengling.:D

Not a big fan of Corona ever since i made the drunk mistake of mixing Corona and Bacardi Limon. PSA: Never mix the 2. Wow, I don't think I was ever sicker after drinking.

reminds me of the time i was playing beer pong and got the bright idea to top off my 3/4 full cup of miller light with skyy citroen vodka
bad idea
i repeat, very bad idea.

Can we merge this thread with the older, and wiser, thread named "What's your favorite beer"?

(although frankly "Beer Talk" is a much cooler name).

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is ridiculous.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is ridiculous.

This stuff is easily $23 per serving. However it's value has been established by long history. I'll give aged beer some time before I jump in. (those are my tootsies btw)

I'd pay $23 for a beer, if I really needed a beer and it was great stuff. :D

very tasty and much, much higher alcohol content.

Switched from Beer to Jack and Coke?..........

My favorite beer is Leopold from Belgium.

My favorite domestic beer is anything from Chippewa Falls, WI (Leinenklugel).

Anyone else know this song? It's one of my favorites:

(imagine sung to a country melody)

I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
Life was so much simpler when I was sober... and queer
But the love of a big hairy man has turned my head, I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control... and beer.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy..... and

What contemptable scroundrel took the cork off my lunch?-----

At the VA meet this weekend the beer menu included Bud Light, Samuel Adams, Coors Light, Blue Moon (?), Sing Ha, and Boddington's. Did I miss any my VA comrades?

I have been doing the Heinie lights lately instead of full sized.

Never cared much for the light beers..these are pretty decent.

I drink Straub. See here: http://www.straubbeer.com/
It's got no sugar added and no artificial additives. Clean tasting and about $5 a six-pak.
